« No matter what happens today, the sun will rise again in the morning » Barack Obama

A photo every day at sunrise, from November 9th 2016 until January 20th 2017.

Joanne Leighton began this project at the time of the election of Donald Trump as president-elect of America on November 9th, 2016. From that day on, the world as we knew it would be different. On this same day, President Barack Obama made a widely-televised speech, in which he stated :
"No matter what happens today, the sun will rise again in the morning".

Joanne Leighton established this protocol with the intention to witness, document and test the resilience of the sun rising each morning. The photographs were taken every day at sunrise until Donald Trump became president of the United States of America on January 20th 2017. Joanne Leighton uses protocols, repetition and systems in other works such as Les Veilleurs and 9000 Steps. This 'sky choreography' is published daily on Instagram at jo.wldn//
